That is the seat configuration from 2001 on I believe. 1999 had the one piece back seat without the wraparound seating, and it was 3 pieces in 2000. I would imagine the center piece flies out of the boat when trailering in the 2000 model. The center/starboard piece of the rear seat in my 2003 tries to fly out if I don't have the cooler in front of it.

The seat will blow out in an 03 x2. Trust me mine blew out when boat was 3 weeks old. Never found it had to buy hole new seat $$$$$. Trailered with curtain in from that point on.

Yeah, luckily I notice mine about to blow out on the interstate when I first bought the boat. Now I have a large cooler I always leave in the floor in front of the seat and it keeps the air from getting under the seat in the middle and lifting it up.

Why did you have to make that repair? Is the tranny questionable or did you hit something? Also are you will to take less? There is the same boat in new York but a 2004 with only 90 hours and he is asking only 26900.
